The 2018 Bristol Short Story Prize was won by Dizz Tate (left) for her story, Cowboy Boot. 2nd prize went to Chloe Wilson (right) and a joint 3rd prize was awarded to Helen Rye and Zeus Sumra, (above with guest speaker, Sharmaine Lovegrove, and judging panel chair, Kate Johnson). We have interviewed Dizz about her win, here.
